Live your Dreams not in them!!

January has been a month of finding myself.  I find myself wishing a lot about things.  This month i've had some break throughs.  I need to dream and follow through.  I can't just sit back and hope that all my dreams come true.  I need to put forth the effort.  My new life mantra...  Live your dreams not in them! 

We can't prevent what we can't predict

I was watching Desperate housewives on Jan 8 and I was already having an emotional day. When this scene played I cried and cried. There was a special message in there for me. "We can't prevent what we can't predict!"

A ME DAY

Today was a day to reflect on me. I spent the day looking at things I would like to accomplish with my life. These things are short term and long term. While reflecting on me I had a come to Jesus moment. The things that my heart desires are not of the worldly things but things that make me a better person.... My friend Todd and I are going to make vision boards tonight, this is what got me thinking about things. The first vision was a new car BMW. I thought my vision board would be full of goodies and toys. My thoughts turned to school, health, friends and family. It's funny when you stop and listen to yourself.... My inner self has been yelling at me for over a year and I failed to listen. I hadn't taken the time or haven't wanted to hear what my inner self needs. I've been hiding not wanting to share my feelings, concerns or desires with anyone. Today I listened. Today my journey begins.

New Year...... New Beginnings

It's the first of the year and time to make resolutions.  This year I have made some resolutions to improve myself.  I'm going to post some of my resolutions here.  I hope that those who read will help me, remind me and encourage me to keep them.
